Application led February 2l, 1922. Serial No. 538,239. f

1o all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, Moms KLEIN, a citizen vof the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a specification.a

`My invention is a cheap, .portable wood stove, particularly useful for camping purposes, the combustion chamber of which may be adjusted to different heights on its'legs, as desired.

Referring tol the annexed drawing in which my invention is illustrated and which forms a part of this specification: Y

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my stove.

Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section of my stove taken on .line 2-2 of Figure 3,

Figure-3 is a plan view of my stove.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the vertical wall member of the combustion chamber.

Figure 5 is a modified form of combustion chamber used for heating purposes.

ln the drawing 1 indicates the combustion chamber' of my stove and 2 the legs upon which the combustion chamber is mounted to be adjusted vertically. Said combustion chamber includes a vertical wall member 3 a lower angle iron frame 4, a lower wall 5 resting in said frame, an upper angle iron frame 6 and an upper wall 7 resting upon said upper frame. The vertical wall member 3 consists of a single sheet of metal 8 bent to form a round end wall 9, two side walls 10 and 11 and a straight end wall 12 i extending from'the end of the side wall 11 to cover the end of the side wall 10 and formino a lap seam 13 with said end of said side wall. The lower end of the member 3 rests within the frame 4 upon its inturned hori- Zontal flanges and against its vertical flanges. The upper frame 6 rests upon the upper ends of the member 3, the vertical flange of said frame iitting over the upper part of said member and the inturned hori- Zontal flange of said frame resting upon the upper edge of said member. Bolts 14 eX- tend through the lower part of the walls of the member 3 through the vertical flange of the frame 4 and bolts 15 extend through the upper part of' the wall of said member and through the vertical flange of frame 6. The legs 2 are provided with a plurality of superimposed apertures 16 in the lower portion thereof through one of which project the vbolts 14 and with a plurality of superimposed apertures 17 in the .upper portion lthereof through which extend the bolts 15.

Nuts 18 and 19 screw on the outer ends of Hi the bolts 14 and l5 respectivelyagainst the legs 2 whereby the vertical wall member 3 is secured to the frames 4 and 6 and the combustion chamber is adjustably mounted on said legs. By placing the bolts 14 and 15 through different holes 16 and 17 the height of the combustion chamber 1 may be varied to suit conditions. ln the lower part of the end wall 12 of the combustion chamber is an opening 2O andV in the corresponding end of the verticalflange of the lower frame 4 is a recess 21 through which opening and recess a fire drawer 22 slides into and out of the bottom of the combustion chamber 1 on the lower wall 5 thereof. The drawer 22 may be usedas a draft opening for when the drawer is pulled slightly out, inrushing air will pass between the outer wall of the vdrawer and the wall 12 of the stove. When the drawer is pushed all the way in this draft opening will be closed. Cooking holes 23 are provided inthe top wall 7 of the combustion chamber which holes are covered with lids 24. An outlet 25 is provided in the upper wall 7 of the combustion chamber near the rounded end 9 thereof to which outlet is connected a stove pipe 26. A damper controlled air inlet 27 is provided in the end wall 12 of the combustion chamber 1 above the lire drawer.

ln the modified form of my stove shown in Figure 5 which is used as a heating stove there are no cooking holes 23, but a hole 30 is substituted for the holes 23, through which hole 30 wood is inserted, and said hole is covered with a lid 31.

Having described my invention, I claim:

1. In a stove, a combustion chamber formed of a vertical sheet of metal bent into a U shape, a flat end wall closing the ends of the U, said flat end wall having an opening near its bottom, a fire drawer adapted to be inserted through said opening, said lire drawer serving as a combined fire receptacle, ash receptacle and as a draft means.

2. ln a stove, a combustion chamber formed of a vertical sheet of metal bent into a U shape and a flat end wall closing the ends of the U, legs on which said combustion chamber is mounted, and a combined ashtray and fire drawer in the bottom of said chamber.

3. In a stove, a combustion chamber Ycomprising a Vertical wall member, a lower angle iron frame, an upper angle iron frame, a lower wall resting in said lower angle iron frame, an upper wall restinv` upon said upper angle iron frame, Vsaid vertical wall member being made of a single sheet of metal and resting within the lower frame upon the inturned horizontal flange and against the Vvertical flange ol said frame, the vertical f plurality of superimposed apertures through certain of which extend said belts, and nuts screwing on the outer en( s ol' said bolts against said legs.

4r.. In a stove, a `Combustion chamber formed of a vertical sheetlof meta'l'bent into a U shia-pe, a Hat end wally having a lap fseam Closing the ends el' the U, saidv flat end wall having a rectangular opening near its bottom, 'a fire drawer adapted to be inserted in said opening and serving as a means to oompletely or partially elose said opening so as to regulate the draft.

p 5. `In a stove, a combustion chamber formed of a vertical sheet of metal bent into a U shape and a, latendl wallelosi-ng the ends ,of theV U, Vsaid chamber. be'ngeonneeted by angle l'r'ame members to the supports for the chan'ibr-w, said {latend wall having a rectangular op'enlngnear its bottom, a tire 'drawer adapted to be `inserted in said opening and serving as a means to' comipletely or pmt-rally close sind opening so' as to regu` late .the draft. v y.

6. In astove.l a combustion chamber formed .of a vertical sheet oif metal bent into a U s'l'i'ap'eand a flat end wall @losing the' ends of vthe U, said chamber being connected ,by angle frame members t0 the supports'for the Chamber, said frame: having an opening in the flat end' wall and a combined ash tray and lire drawer adaptedto bevr inserted in the f chamber through the' said opening. y

In testi ijnony whereof `I my signature.
